Subject: [actf-dev] Release of Eclipse ACTF AccProbe v0.4.4
AccProbe v0.4.4
released
All:
I am pleased to
announce the release of the Eclipse ACTF Accessibility Probe (AccProbe) v0.4.4.
AccProbe is an Eclipse RCP-based stand-alone Java aplication that combines
inspection, event-monitoring, and hierarchical viewing of accessible objects
and their properties. It is currently only available for the Windows platform
but does support both MSAA- and IAccessible2-enabled aplications. It is, so far
as I know, the only game in town for IAccessible2 inspection and
event-monitoring, which also means that it can be used to verify ARIA-enabled
web applications in Firefox 2.x and above and IBM Lotus Symphony chrome and
documents.
You can learn
more about AccProbe and download release v0.4.4 at:
http://www.eclipse.org/actf/downloads/tools/accprobe/
Enhancements in
the latest release include:
1.
Implementation of new ia2 idl (version 1.1) which includes
the new interfaces IAccessibleTableCell and IAccessibleTable2. The IAccessible2
interface will now display these two interfaces if present. In order to
test these two new interfaces, users will need to use the latest Mozilla
Minefield browser (version 3.7a).
2.
Fixed the tracking issue in some applications such as Lotus
Symphony by changing the way top level windows are loaded into the Explorer
View. If a single window has two processes running in it (such as Lotus Notes
or Lotus Symphony), AccProbe will now load a separate window for each process,
making the expansion while tracking easier.
3.
Added a "howFound" property to accessible
elements which lets the user know how the event information and
"hwnd" information for that accessible was determined.
4. caret
tracking is now supported for IBM Lotus Symphony documents
